Characters/Images & Info (Minor Spoiler)

Forward, the beginning may be alright, but it may not be written very well. At that point, I didn't know what info dumps were or what "show, don't tell" meant. While I have a goal in mind, which is the end of the story, and it will blow your minds, the journey there was a bit rocky and not very cleverly thought out because I didn't follow a direct path and just wrote as I pleased. However, these criteria gradually improves from chapters 30 to 40 as I became more involved in writing. Additionally, I want to apologize in advance if you don't like my English, as I am only 16 years old and English is not my native language. If you can't bear to read the first 30 chapters, I won't hold it against you, as it's your right as a reader to read what you want. However, I kindly ask you to at least read the first 6 chapters to form a true opinion. If you read more, even better :)

[Ranks explained]

[Ranks go from 1 to 10, with subdivisions from F to A]

[For each transition from one full rank to another, one must have Rank A and then level up]

[Each individual level is a rank (if you level up, you go from Rank E to Rank D)]

[Example: You = Rank 1A, when leveling up = Rank 2F]

[Another example: You = Rank 3C, when leveling up = Rank 3B]

___________________________

[Sacrifices explained]

[There are karma points, which are credited depending on the intensity when used]

[These karma points are then converted so that the sacrifice becomes more intense, depending on the amount of karma points]

[However, one can also be negative in karma points, which means that when something has to be sacrificed, nothing is really sacrificed (simply put: if you have $500, have $200 in debt, you still have $300)]

[It is individually dependent but mostly dependent on the ability]

[Examples: Ability: Telekinesis = Sacrifice: cannot touch things themselves (Depending on the amount of karma points, you are increasingly pushed away from reality and eventually cannot touch anything)]

[However, it can always be something else, so it is not entirely dependent on the power (just mostly)]

___________________________

[Reawakening]

[The Awakening occurs through a serum with a chip that is injected into someone.]

[Reawakening happens, but not if someone allows themselves such an injection again; on the contrary, they die from an overdose]

[Reawakening can happen when someone is done with their ability, and then only rarely, meaning they have reached the maximum of their level, or it can also happen randomly]

[Secret Reawakening: ###]

___________________________

[World-building in brief (ONLY FROM the Battlefield NOT FROM the FANTASY LIKE ENVIRONMENT)]

[There is a portal in the Bermuda Triangle that leads to Praeter]

[In Praeter, which is twice the size of Earth, there are three large areas: the first year, the second, and the third. Imagine it like the third year at the front and central, and the second and third like a rainbow attached to it. The somewhat large battlefield is like a praline, the Earth from the inside, or like an atom. At the largest front, there are the strongest Awakened, as well as monsters. From there, it gets weaker towards the outside.]

Hope u have fun reading The Crumbling World :)
